#696 The Toad Prince- Chuck Palahniuk
Well, this story reaches new levels of gross. Thank you Chuck Palahniuk, you win the prize! Not only does he create stories from topics you didn’t want to know about, he does it from places you didn’t want to know exist.
Ethan and Mona are canoodling in his bed, on the way to having sex for the first time together. It’s cute at first but Ethan is taking it slow, preparing her for something we don’t know about. But we know it’s going to be weird.
“Ethan choice her not because she’s hot. He thought she’d be more open minded…He’d found [her] in advanced placement Microbiology During a section of virology. He loves her because she loves viruses. There’s a match made in heaven.”
He tells her of the history of tattoos, body modification, and sexual mutilation. He has invented some new body-altering sexual fetish. You can’t look away, but you should. This is the epitome of grotesque. It’s Stephen King meets Penthouse Forum. Most definitely not safe for the squeamish. I’ll give Palahniuk points for originality.
